In today’s news brief, Maggie highlights the effects of a recent executive order signed by President Trump on organizations supporting refugees. Specifically, Maggie focuses on the impacts of this executive order on Lutheran Services Carolinas, an organization in the local Columbia area near the University of South Carolina. The main challenges faced by LSC after this executive order have been economic, forcing LSC to lay off workers and even start a GoFundMe campaign to fund services of their New Americans resettlement program.
